The gladiators were definitely looked upon as great people, despite their humble beginnings, with some being prisoners of war, condemned criminals, slaves or volunteers seeking fame and wealth.

Young Roman boys liked to hang out at gladiator schools and even take lessons there (their parents hated it of course).
The gladiatorial games had no legal status in ancient Rome. They were pure entertainment. The closest they came to having anything "legal" about them, was perhaps when condemned criminals were executed.
